Gorgeous and quiet tree-lined street in safe, walkable neighborhood conveniently located in the eastern Main Line. Very close to Center City Philadelphia and lots of restaurants and coffee shops just a few minutes walking.

Absolutely delightful visit. Quiet neighborhood. Close to everything we needed during our stay. Steve and his family were superb hosts and walked us through the booking process (our first airbnb experience) as well as walking us through the apartment on our arrival. Many thanks.

Bob2014-05-19T00:00:00Z

Steve's apartment is adorable and in a beautiful area of Philadelphia. The apartment is updated and has a wonderful bathroom. Bagels, juice and coffee were also provided for our stay. Steve is quick to respond to any requests or questions. I would definitely recommend this great space.

Mandy2015-06-18T00:00:00Z

Steve's place is truly charming and a magnificent place to stay. It is located in one of the nicest areas of Philadelphia and is exactly as advertised. This was my first Airbnb experience and Steve met me the first evening to answer any questions, explain Airbnb protocol and make sure I was comfortable as a first-timer. Thereafter, he kept himself available but left me to my privacy. He handled that just right. Everything was really perfect so there was no need for any further interaction relating to my stay. Overall this was a very positive experience and I recommend Steve's place without hesitation. I regularly travel to Philadelphia on business and look forward to staying at Steve's place again in the future. It suited my needs perfectly and was like a home away from home.

The apartment is located in a very nice area of huge old stone homes on a very quiet street. Great place for walks! The house is within walking distance to many nice restaurants, Starbucks and another very quaint Coffee shop and a pharmacy. The apartment had recently been renovated, was spotless, cozy and decorated with great taste. We spent almost 3 weeks here and had a wonderful time. We could have spent 6 months and felt right at home! Best stocked kitchen I have ever had at any apartment on Airbnb or any other site I’ve used. The pictures do not do the apartment justice – the rooms are much bigger than shown. And I need to repeat how well the kitchen was stocked!! Fruit basket, mini fridge stocked with drinks, juice, bagels, milk, and the Kuerig coffee maker was fantastic! We were offered wash and fold service by Gabi (the housekeeper and nanny) for a small extra amount and that was such a wonderful plus! We had a whole suitcase full of new baby clothes that needed to be washed and she did a great job with those and our clothes as well!! It was so nice not to have to go to the cleaners. And Gabi is also a great person to talk to and get info about the area. Thank you so much Gabi! It was such a pleasure to meet you! So much more than we expected! It truly felt more like a Bed and Breakfast but with extra privacy! We loved it! Steve was very helpful with everything and such a kind host. Questions were answered within hours. His super sweet daughter set up the bathroom with tons of little amenities that were great to have and saved us many trips to the drug store! She was also the one who set up the delicious fruit basket! Thank you L! I also need to say thank you to Steve for being on top of the snow clearing every morning – by the time we were up, he had cleared the walkways and the area around our car each morning. What service! We highly recommend this tremendous apartment and will definitely return again when we are in the Philly area. To sum up, it was PERFECT!

The best part of living here is that it's steps from the village, where you can find good food and atmosphere, the commuter train, and a very short drive from anything else to please the palate or the physique (lovely trails for cycling and walking are a 1.5 - 3 miles away). As long as you don't mind the train sounds - which I stopped hearing only days after moving in nearly six years ago - you'll love the idyll of this Main Line charming town, and the abundant sunlight.
(Note: When I'm overseas in July/August, this entire apartment is available, and the price is the same).

Narberth is its own village and has a thriving local economy with all its shops, restaurants, yoga studios, books stores, cafes, etc. There's enough to do here for a weekend, and if you want to explore the thriving, scenic, historic city of Philadelphia, the rail line is across the street. Philadelphia's cultural pulse is thriving, with food, theater, and music in abundance! Train ride is only 15 minutes!

Cassandra's place is well-locatedin Narberth in the center of town but on a residential street. there are good small food shops, wine store, restaurants, yoga studio, movie theater, etc. It has a cute town ambiance, rather than other mainline towns that are more car-based. My friend and i each had a bedroom in the apartment, which was very comfortably appointed, like staying in someone's home, with personal and creative decorations and comfortable furniture. There is a nice kitchen and dining room where you can sit at a table next to windows next to trees while eating. the kitchen has all the things you might need to cook a meal. Cassandra was greatabout communicating; it was easy to reach her, and she supplied us with plenty of information abuot the local area, and the house itself. I recommend Cassandra's place if you are looking for a cozy home away from home in Narberth.

Maggie2016-11-13T00:00:00Z

Delightful host and apartment.

Megan2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

I had the most wonderful stay at Cassandra's apartment, I truly could not have asked for a better place to stay or for a better host. I had to travel to Pennsylvania for an interview, and I wasn't too sure what to expect because it would be my first time on the East Coast, my first time using Airbnb, and I was traveling by myself. Cassandra's apartment was well decorated, very comfortable, and located in a quaint small town (very close to public transportation!). Cassandra truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at home. She frequently offered to drive me into town on her way to work, invited me along when she had plans, and suggested great places to visit. She treated me like family, and I highly doubt I will never encounter another Airbnb hostess like her.

Nicole was very friendly and accommodating. I arrived to a warm welcome. Very safe neighborhood. She was busy with work for most of my stay, so I had the apartment to myself. The apartment is spacious yet very cozy. Very clean. Exactly as advertised. Well decorated and most importantly - the bed was amazing! Super comfortable. Nice place, amazing host at an affordable price! A+ for Nicole

Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to see Jim, but he couldn't have been more helpful with access instructions! His loft was very gorgeous and clean and it is actually more beautiful than the photos show. My friends and I were very pleased with our stay. We highly recommend staying here and hope we can do it again ourselves!

Annabel2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was great. Everything advertised was accurate; check-in was a breeze, and the loft was very cool. Jim was solicitous and even left us sparking water, chocolates, and popcorn!

Julie2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

Very fun and eclectic place. would definitely stay there again!

Joe2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

This is my second time booking Jim's loft, he's a great host, his place is clean, spacious, comfortable, and conveniently located near the heart of Manayunk.

Molly2016-10-07T00:00:00Z

What a dream! The place was exactly as pictured, a really unique loft in a great neighborhood in Philly. The location was very convenient and parking on site made our trip much easier. The apartment was like a home away from home and the decor was straight out of a magazine. Jim was a great host, the information for our stay was clear and every details tended to; I'd highly recommend this place!

Bailey2016-10-17T00:00:00Z

The location was lovely, we enjoyed the town and his recommendations. We enjoyed the neighborhood, the access to the trail and proximity to downtown. the space was relaxing, and the host helpful.

Peter2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

A lovely private studio apartment with separate back entrance on the street level of the main business & restaurant district in busy downtown Ardmore right on the main road Lancaster Ave. Close to various colleges and walking distance to Ardmore train station. The studio has newly remodeled kitchenette with new appliances and private full bathroom with new fixtures. Perfect place for your next visit to the Mainline and Philadelphia!

The studio apartment is in the building next door to our office/showroom (Kitchen Technology). Our parking lot is in the back of the building. From the parking lot you have your own separate back entrance into the studio apt. Feel free to stop in the showroom next door anytime to say hi to us!

Beautiful neighborhood with many shops and restaurants. Walking distance to the Haverford Square shopping center with boutiques, art gallery, cafe, and retail stores.

Colleen was a great host and communicator. I was warmly welcomed as a last minute reservation and accommodated 100%. The listing's photos of the inside of the apartment are accurate. The building is shared with a couple of other apartments and there was some noise from TV next door and a family gathering above on each of our night's stay. While the apartment is in a nice neighborhood, it is located right on a busy street, so there is also street noise in the mornings.

Priscilla2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

Colleen was very attentive and welcoming. The location is perfect if you need quick access to the Paoli line, it's a bike ride away from most neighborhoods. The neighbors and outside traffic were a bit noisy, but there were plenty of fans available to help drown out those noises. I did not have trouble sleeping at all.

Ashley2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely, comfortable room in easy walking distance from public transport and a bunch of shops and restaurants. Downside is it's on a busy road (traffic noise) and the window faces onto the street so blinds have to be kept closed. The hosts are helpful and attentive as needed.

Joanna2017-04-05T00:00:00Z

Convenient and well appointed studio, albeit on a busy street. Easy walking access to everything I needed this weekend .

Michael’s place is perfect for a couple to visit Philly! It’s about a 20 minute drive into the city but well worth it to stay here. Michael was a good host and very responsive even though he was out of town on his own weekend vacation. The townhouse was spacious with great wifi and a large smart tv in the living room. It was very clean, beautifully decorated, and has huge windows that let in a lot of light. A few minor details about the place include: There is only parallel street parking and sometimes we had to park a little further away at night, which wasn’t inconvenient, but something to be aware of. The layout of the townhouse is a little strange; the master bedroom and only bathroom are on the third floor, the living and kitchen area are on the second floor, and the other bedroom is on the first floor. Finally, the walls are a bit thin (we could hear the neighbors talking). Otherwise, everything was perfect. The apartment complex is private and gated which felt very secure. It’s also close to main street in Manayunk which has lots of bars and restaurants and is popular on weekends (Manayunk Brewing Company had great food and amazing craft beers) Overall Michael’s place is wonderful and we would definitely stay again!

My place is one mile from downtown Manayunk and two blocks from the river walk. You’ll love it because of the location, the outdoors space, the new amenities, and free laundry. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers. Unit is in basement so it stays very cool in summer. FREE parking on the street just out front, rarely will you have to park more than two blocks away.

It is a diamond in the rough--the neighborhood is cute but plain, and safe, but then walk through my door and you're in a bright, modern, and colorful world full of comfort. My backyard serves as my living room, where you can enjoy the sun and some of our neighborhood's wildlife, then pick some herbs and make yourself a dinner in my small but mighty kitchen with brand new amenities. And free laundry on the premises! It can't be beat.

The neighborhood is a street of traditional row houses on a cobblestone street, and my studio is the renovated basement of one. The neighborhood is a very diverse mix of people of all ages and ethnicities, and is a very safe place. It is within a very short walking distance to a park with hiking trails, the river with a tow path, a train station, and is a mile from the downtown Manayunk area with lots of shops and restaurants. Everything you need to make your stay comfortable is right here!

With temperatures in the high 90's I was worried about how comfortable I would be in a place without A/C. But no need to worry. Just as Jess promised it was cool and comfortable. The hallway is a little tight and dusty and could use a light but other than that I found Smick Garden Studio to be an oasis away from the busy city. I had an easy time of riding the train and there was an Uber driver available within 5 minutes whenever I needed. When I had a mis-communication with Jess about checking in I received quick communication and we worked through it. I feel so lucky to have found this adorable little studio during the craziness that was the DNC. Thanks Jess!

Shannon2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

The apartment looks as beautiful as it does in the photos! Jess was very responsive and made sure our trip went smoothly. I had car trouble getting down to Philadelphia and she was very flexible about my delayed arrival and was overall just a nice, easy person to deal with. Her studio apartment is well maintained and decorated. Very comfortable temperature inside even during a heat wave. Perfect stay!

Juliana2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Kathryn2016-07-02T00:00:00Z

Perfect spot! Jess was lovely and easy to communicate with and we had a great time. Studio is cute & cozy and has everything you might need. Backyard is fantastic. Really great value and a 5-min Uber ride or 15/20 min walk to lovely Manayunk Main St.

Carlotta2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

Great experience. Studio was clean and comfortable. Access to the backyard was an added bonus. Great place and an unbeatable value.

Marc2016-07-03T00:00:00Z

Jess was super friendly and her home was lovely. The home is equipped with a kitchen for longer stays and the garden is lovely to have a quiet hang out it in. The neighborhood is on a quiet little cobblestone street and only a few miles from the main highway. My girfriend and I only stayed a night here and we enjoyed it very much. The only problem we had was that a cat occasionally lives there and we were not aware of it. Unfortunately my girlfriend is very allergic to cat dander. When we addressed this to Jess she was very responsive and we appreciated it, but there isnt much that can be done about animal dander even though Jess claims to clean up after her furry dude. We stuck it through for the night since we were only staying for one, but we would not have made it for another. Please do not stray from this place, though -its an awesome stay in a convenient neighborhood. I just think it wasnt for someone allergic to cats.

CARLOS 2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Jess's home was perfectly quaint in a great place! Danielle was very repsonsive and accommodating! We had a great time and look forward to visiting Manayunk again soon!

Adrian2016-07-22T00:00:00Z

Another great stay at Jess' place! She always makes sure you get in easy, her place is clean and cozy, and the location is super. Runners take note: it's 4 miles from this lovely apartment to the top of Shawmont Drive, a hill that is a monster (locals call this hill 'the Wall') and the perfect training run. Septa station is 3 blocks from door to door. Manayunk Main Street is .7 miles and a 10 min walk. Love it!
